Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
You know that old dramatic principle of suspension of disbelief? You'll have to rely on it for this box-office smash, but you won't be disappointed. Harrison Ford plays a U.S. president who single-handedly employs his rigid antiterrorism policy when a band of Russian thugs hatch a mid-flight takeover of Air Force One. Gary Oldman, who chews the scenery as the lead terrorist, will shoot a hostage at the slightest provocation. Glenn Close plays the sternly pragmatic vice president who negotiates with Oldman from her Washington seat of power. If you can believe that the aircraft's pressurized cabin can sustain hundreds of rounds of machine-gun fire, you'll buy anything in this entertaining potboiler, especially thanks to Ford's stalwart heroics and some nifty special effects. Director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) keeps the action moving so fast you won't be sweating the details. Don't forget your parachute! --Jeff Shannon

1.0 out of 5 stars
Sooo Unrealisticccc!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Air Force One (DVD)
What kind of plot is this? They land the plane and then take back off when they're not even on the runway. I'm sorry this is just a little too impossible for me. Six Russian terrorists just happen to get on Air Force One unnoticed, please. One of the president's, most trusted and highly scrutinized, secret service detail is a traitor. There's nothing wrong with a fictional account, but at least make it one we can half-heartedly believe. What were you thinking Harrison? This was a "B" movie plot at best!

typical action movie elevated by great supporting performances (3.5/5),

This review is from: Air Force One (DVD)
this is a typical action movie.obviously it has lots of action,butthere isn't much originality to the story.we've seen this movie before.the only difference is that some details are different and the title isn't the same.otherwise,there's no difference.OK,the actors are different.Harrison Ford plays the reluctant action hero.he's OK,i suppose,but he seems to play every character he portrays in the same manner.they all sound and look alike to me.i liked Wendy Crewson as the Ford character's wife.i thought she was credible in the part.i was also impressed with Glenn Close in her role. but it's Gary Oldman who steals the show,in my mind.when you add everything up,the movie is entertaining,although less so than others of the genre. if it weren't for Wendy Crewson,Glenn Close and especially Gary Oldman,i would give this film a lower rating.as it is,i give Air Force One a 3.5/5.

Bare bonus DVD. Shallow Movie,
By Joe Mac Guy "NA" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Air Force One (DVD)
With TROY now playing in theaters, and it being a big budget/zero substance movie...It is not surprising because AIR FORCE ONE was exactly the same type movie. Harrison Ford is in a thankless role in both a poorly written/and now much more realistic type picture then anyone would care to admitt. There is nothing to like about this movie, it speaks of shotty production values and zero story. Something that Hollywood shamelessly does now and it just stinks.
